Artificial leather for touch emulation
15.04.2024
In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

| Random news from the Archive Complimentary Telly TV with additional advertising screen
21.05.2023
The American startup Telly has introduced a TV available free of charge to users, but with one feature - the constant presence of advertising banners.
The new TV consists of a main 55" Theater display with 4K resolution and an additional display called Smart Display. Smart Display constantly displays widgets with news, weather, stocks and, most importantly, advertising banners.
Advertising on the Smart Display does not interrupt the playback of content on the main display. However, if the main display remains inactive, the TV will automatically turn on to show ads. In addition, users are invited to participate in surveys, for which they can receive gift cards from companies such as Netflix, Starbucks and others.
Telly's privacy policy mentions that the company may collect information about the audio and video content viewed, search queries, and "the physical presence of you and any other person using the TV at any given time."
The user has the right to refuse the collection of data, but in this case he undertakes to return the TV. If this does not happen, the company will write off $500 from the bank card specified at the conclusion of the contract. The TV is controlled by the Telly OS operating system with a voice assistant function, 40 games and support for music services.
There is a camera in the soundbar that separates both screens. It is useful for video calls and fitness applications with motion tracking. Telly claims that the camera can be closed with a built-in shutter. Deliveries of 500 free TVs will begin this summer.
